Egg Production Problems Discussed

"!'hapeoduct.ionofeggsinP.E. I. is holding steady." rapoiruhn-.r. M. Nash. district inspector of Poultry Products. The demand for Grade A can is increasing and pa-icaa have advanced on this grade. Grade 13 eggs are not in demand and are accumulating on dealers' floors. Grade 3 eggs have never been considered a good table egg but one for cooking. with the mar- kei. presently weak for the frozen egg or dried 088 Wvduct. it is be- coming increasingly difficult to sell these eggs. There spears to be a hezwy production of Grade 3 eggs across Canada. There are too many being marketed in P. E. I.

Operators of grading stations are

now quoting producers for unmad- ad eggs A Large 34-6. A Medium 33-4. B 20. C 16-17. Wholesalers are quoting grading stations for the graded pack fdb station A Large 39. A Medium 37. B 25. C 21.

There is no change in the poultry market... Receipts are made up mostly of fowl. Ddalera are quoting zlc par lb. for fowl live six pounds and over and mic from 5 to if lbs.

"The percentage of Grade 13 eggs in producer egg receipts being re- ceived at grading stations is in- creasing at an alarming rate. The accumulation of Grade B eggs on dealers' floors in getting serious- serious from the standpoint that consuming centres are now glutted with them, therefore selling slow- ly and at reduced prices and, in sympathy with this reaction. the payim price for Grade B eggs has been reduced. The problem to date is to find sale for them. Perhaps the easiest way to settle the prob- lem is not to produce them. Other things being right such as keeping eggs in a cool place before being delivered to grading stations, the production of Grade B eggs is un- necessary as it is definitely known that hens fed a properly balanced ration a-nd in sufficient quantities will produce egg which will grade 80 per cent or better Grade A. the quality of egg in demand today." The production of Grade 8 eggs this year is greatly in excess of other years and thisis generally at- tributed to skimpy feeding. faulty Jitions, and allowing hens to range, picking up additional feed which will assist in producing eggs but not of the desired. quality. it is not maintained that the production of eggs. considering present feed prices, is highly profit- a-ble but it is maintained that, if one is to stay in the business. it must be carried on efficiently and in a manner which will gain the greatest return. The production of Grade B or C eggs for which 10 to l5c less per dozen is received is not operating a business efficient-

Waateful Practices

The losses due to wasteful pract- ices in the poultry industry must be overcome if the economic prob- lems involved in the industry are to be overcome. we believe 90 per cent of the losses involved are avoidable. We belicvei-hatif some of the violations of good poultrv husbandry are overcome. there will be an immediate decrease in the numiber of Grade B eggs and an in- crease in Grade A eggs, the grade in demand by housewives all over Canada

mgs in most instances are be- im placed into Grade 13 due to flattened or off-coloured yolks and weak albumen or whites, all in- dicating poor feeding in volume or quality.

The difference between profit and loss from the flock often de- pends upon care and management. Feeding plays an all-important part in increased production of to-r quality eggs as evidenced by the following experiment conducted in this province a few years ago.

As a result of complaints that a certain poultryiman was not getting a satisfactory grade of eggs and was anxious to conform to any reasonable requirements that would bring about the needed improve- ment. ofificers of the P. E. I Poultry Servima contacted the pouitrylman and co-operated with him to bring about the necessary improvements.

After a thorough inspection the house was thoroughly cleaned with the idea of precaution as well as actual nocesity for clean premises. This meant cleaning and scraping all manure. dust and litter that might harbour disease. infection lice, mites or anything that would hmder a hen from living a normal healthy life. The house was then sprayed with whitewash contain- ing a disinfectant. This made it brighter with a further assurance of cleanliness.

The floorof thehouse was mil. This was scraped and fresh earth used to give a new surface as well as fill all irregular parts. Ventil- ation was improved by removing the most of the windows and using screening for the summer with the added advice that a modification of this system would be satisfact- ory for the winter. Roasts were ar- ranged over a proper dropping board and sufficient rests added.

Plan or Feeding

"rbllowl the renovation of the house, the lock was culled and all birds that showed unprofitable laying characteristics were ramm- ed. This alone added much to the economy of feeding and floor space

for the balance of the flock. Th!- plan of feeding adopted was to keep a laying mash before the birds. and feed scratch grain in the evening. the mash in a hopper with a rolling guard rail and the grain in troughs to avoid waste. Oyster shell. grit and clean water wed kept before the birds at all times. The feeds: was requested to pay particular attention to the water and make sure that it was clean and wholesome and never wanting in nipply.

"The results of this experiment has exceeded all expectations. on October 4th previous to the change in feed and methods, the producer marketed 12 dozen and 10 eggs which graded 3:: per cent Grade A After the feed was changed on October 18th, 23 dozen were mar- keted and graded 5 per cent Grade A. On November md. 14 dozen and 10 eggs were marketed and Graded as per cent Grade A, which is sul- ficient proof that egg quality and

eral plan of poultry will be noted that bmides securing an increase in the quality of the product, fewer birds produced more eggs.

"it is necessary to feed a good poultry ration or laying mesh in volume and quality if the desired results is to be obtained. One hundred birds givng 40 per cent production require 20 to 22 lbs. of feed per day and for 60 per cent production. 26 to 28 lbs. Remem- ber. in feeding hens we hope to accomplish two things. First. to obtain the greatest number of eggs and, secondly. the highest quality eggs. A hen is no dififerent from a Imamirfactiiring plant. If you want increased production, you increase the raw material going through the plant or hen. If a quality pro- duct is desired, the raw material or feed must be of the desired quality to produce that product.

Balanced Ration Essential

"The greatest loss in the feeding of poultry for egg production oc- curs when the poultryiznan at- tempts to compound a ration from a few farm grown grains without the addition of necessary protein and vitamins. If hens are not fed a well balanced ration. it is quite pssible they will not pay for their

The old idea that a lien is a scavenger and can rustle for its own feed has no place in the mod- ern feeding programme, Good poultry management pays dividends in the production of eggs wherein the product grades 5 tom per cent, Grade A instead of 32 per cent to 50 per cent as is only too common today.

"The grading of eggs in general is done properly throughout the Province. The grade of eggs receiv- ed by producers is commensurate with the feed given the birds and the time and effort spent on the rare of the flock.
